John
uniquely indicated that an unnamed Samaritan woman (γυνὴ ἐκ τῆς Σαμαρίας) came (ἔρχεται)
to draw some water (ἀντλῆσαι ὕδωρ) from the well. However, Jesus spoke to her (λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ
Ἰησοῦς). He wanted some water to drink (Δός
μοι πεῖν). This seemed like a simple
request. Jesus did not have any utensil to
drink water with, but he was thirsty from the long trip. Thus, he asked for a drink of water, as she
was about to get some water from the well.
Have you ever drunk water from a well?
